Yumi's POV.- Working in Kindergarten on days when I don’t have classes is sure the best way to pass my time. The kids are always fun and I love relating with them and teaching them new things. I never get bored or fed up. “Bye, Aunty!” “Bye, kids!” Standing at the front of the school gate, I wave at the kids being taken by their parents. I remain here till everyone’s gone before I go back in to sort some things out before leaving. “Bye, Yumi. You’re coming tomorrow, right?” One of the female teachers, Sarah, peeps in from the ajar door to ask expectantly. I ponder a little and smile, “I am. Do take care, bye”. Sarah’s to lock up today so I spring out the gates happily and begin my walk down the street. But I see a familiar figure standing just a few feet away along the path I’m threading. “Nyx?” I call out contemplatively, pausing my merry gait. Waiting as I lean forward to inspect the oddly familiar figure, I hear a chuckle come from them. They turn around with a huge smile
Henry's POV.- “Can I ask you something? It might be personal and I don’t wanna make you uneasy and intrude into your privacy…” Tension forces the skin on my forehead to crumple and my hands stiffen as I try to compose myself and ask the one question that’s been bugging me since I came across it. ‘It’s okay. I’ll see if I can.’ Her tentative reply sounds through and I ease my nerves to ask calmly despite totally despising this. “Nyx. What was he to you?” The words vacate my lips with distaste and I catch onto the tremor in her voice. She must be fidgeting right now. It’s totally unexpected after all. ‘We…he was my boyfriend. That was two years ago…’ She starts in a meek voice, and I’m picturing her with a shy face right now. Damn, cutie. But the info, despite not being new to me, has my face darkening in riling anger. No matter how hard I try to make it clear to myself, it strikes hard against my pride that some other wolf has laid his hands on my mate. I’m more guilty than I try
Henry's POV.- “Dare mention one more word about my woman and I swear…I’ll have that rotten mouth of yours shoved right up your ass. Damn bastard.” I glare with epitome rage at this sickening mistake of an Alpha. His offsetting chuckles sip out his lips as he says, “Deal with it, Henry. She’s probably found someone better than you. A much better fucker.” That’s it. I’m about to disfigure his face when an enthralling aroma wafts into my nostrils, rendering me immobile in mere seconds as the bastard slips out of my grip, also perceiving what’s crippling my senses invasively. “She must be close…so damn sweet.” Drex slurs, a weird seductive smile filling his face and I squeeze my face with disgust. “Fuck off. She’s mine”. I hurriedly leave the establishment, desperately in search of its source when my eyes capture the beautiful sight of my giggling mate. But I frown in anger when I see she’s with a man. The same one I attacked when I was drunk that day. I hate how Drex’s words repla
Yumi's POV.- How could he say that to me? Henry makes it seem as if I have no choice at all. I should have a say, an opinion over the man I’ll want to spend the rest of my life with. He can’t just shun me like that and dominate his opinions over mine. Being a human doesn’t mean I’m weak. And I’ll show him that. I’ll keep showing him I won’t be bossed around and commanded. He will be the one to come begging and not the other way around. But, sometimes, I’m all talk. Henry’s been on my tail lately and he means business this time. I missed his canines by a hair’s length two days ago. Now I’m always on high alert for him. He’s just so good at stealth that it makes me sick and on my toes. Henry’s just so persistent! And it’s always occurring in public. Good thing I’m hardly left alone with him. He always has this innate, starving look in his eyes each time he sees me and he gets so overconfident and domineering in the presence of other werewolves. Especially the male ones. Yes, it help
Yumi's POV.- “Get down. You’re soaked, you need to change out of those.” Henry takes off his seat belt and I do the same, pouting angrily. You should’ve just taken me home. We both walk into the huge, glamorous five-star hotel with my jaw hanging open and my eyes rolling around in awe. “Don’t embarrass me. Speed up,” He snorts at me and I glare back, “I don’t remember asking to be brought here, mister”. Henry ignores me and walks us to the far end of the glam-glam ground floor where we take one of the many elevators to the…Presidential suite. I should be scared. He’s locked the door and just walks into one of the rooms, leaving me with a towel resting on my shivering shoulders. I walk to the floor-length glass windows which are also walls too. The view from here is breathtaking. “I wish the girls could be here with me.” I flatten my palms against the glass walls. But I soon hear closing steps from behind me and I turn to see him. “You should take your hoody off. I’ve prepared y
Henry's POV.- “Bring it in.” Wait- did she just tell me to come in? With all eagerness, I grab the knob, twist it, and push the door open. I meet the immediate turn of her back to me and I shuffle in, shutting the door after my entrance. “Hey, you okay?” I raise a brow, noticing she hasn’t changed out of her soaked shirt. Oh wait- I’m with her change of clothes. “Yeah. J-just dr-drop it and leave” Her pensive shy voice comes out in a rush but I don’t think I can hear her anymore. Damn…I think something is wrong with me. Is it my imagination or her scent is amplifying? Just what the heck is this?! My eyes keep raking over her body with alarm, in desperate search for wherever this deafening scent emits from. Just what part of her edible hot body is tasked with producing this alluring scent that’s resetting my brain functions? Alarmed, her arms drop, and she anxiously moves her body to turn round. I don’t even realize how close we’ve gotten. Now even my body has been manipulated
Henry's POV.- It stuns me to meet her door open as I cautiously open the door to slide a tray of food inside before quickly shutting it. I return to my room where I deal with my naughty boner and roll up on my side on the bed. I feel so disgusted about myself. What sort of irrational behavior did I exhibit back there? Fuck! I wanna kill myself this instant. I fight with myself as I slap my palms on my face, groaning endlessly as the foul scene reiterates in my mind. I’ve messed up once again. The next day comes and none of us talk to the other. Not like I was expecting her to. Especially with the shuddering fear she regards me with when our eyes meet accidentally. I fear I might’ve done something worse on a psychological level to her I will regret for a long time. She outright refuses my offer to drive her back to her place, so I assign a chauffeur to do the task while I watch them drive off with forlorn, anger, and guilt alternating in my heart. Drew and Steven will be arriving s
Yumi's POV.- It hurts…it hurts so much it burns. Like my whole skin is sizzling from within. My body drops onto the wet ground in great tremors as I try with all in me to hold myself from crumbling under this immense pressure. Henry already pulled back and keeps reeling backward slowly, watching me cry in pain. Fresh warm, thick liquid starts to trickle down from the bitten spot and I feel it quickly dampening my shirt as I glare up at his disappearing form. “How could you?!... Why?” How could he do this to me? My cries intensify as the pain hits again, numbing my whole shoulder and I can feel myself growing weaker by the second. “You’re mine…at last”. I read the words off his lips just before he merges into the darkness and I don’t feel his presence anymore. He’s gone. I wall my way into my apartment, panting and heaving as I drag my wobbly legs along. I somehow open the door and fall right through. “Ow!” I grunt in pain, unable to stand back up as I crawl my way in slowly. I
